Hi Elena,
I really felt like God put you on my heart this afternoon, and just wanted to reach out to say thank you for all you did for me.
I truly believe God put you into my life for a season at the perfect time.
You truly are helping so many people and changing lives, as I know you did for me. I just know
God would be proud of you.
— P.D.

Hi Elena,
I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for the time we spent working with the Lord together. You were instrumental in transforming my life and bringing me closer to surrender.
I just graduated from Michigan State University with my bachelor’s in Physiology this semester. Thanks to your encouragement and God’s will I am now aspiring to pursue a master’s degree in clinical psychology and become a Licensed Professional Counselor to help others heal through my experiences and God’s unconditional love and grace!
May God bless you with his peace and presence today
— J.D.
Elena, as Christian counselor, provides counseling that is insightful, compassionate, and life-changing. She creates an environment in which the client feels at ease to openly share, thus allowing the potential for great progress to be made. Her cognitive behavioral therapy and counsel are deeply rooted in Biblical truths, and my faith has grown immensely during our work together.

Happy Winter to all, especially to Michiganders!
"You have established all the boundaries of the earth; You have made summer and winter."
- Psalm 74:17
I know it is hard to believe we are saying this. But if we are homenst, winter has its beauty! God ordained a season during which the ground is covered with a immaculate white-blanket. When it gets super cold, like we had a few days ago, the sparkling snow and underlines the the nature's stillness and beauty. I, Valy, walked outside the other day. It was 25 F. I felt the crisp air, and my lungs took in super rich oxygen. Coming inside after being outside for some time makes us appreciate God's provisions of warmth and safety. We try to enjoy winter as much as other seasons. Sometimes, when is below 10F or at times when is below 0F is not easy.
We at New Life Directions Counseling wish you a pleasant winter! Stay warm! Be careful driving while it snows. Praise God for all seasons! He is the maker of them all.
God bless you all!
There is so much wisdom in the Book of Psalms. The psalmist asks God to teach him to number his days. I think we should do the same.
In Romanian, we have a saying: “Nu aduce anul ce aduce ceasul,” (“What the hour brings, the year doesn’t bring”) meaning that the present moment is more important than long-term plans.
